what is this part?

had my 2009 taco stolen (and recovered) last week.

found this part in the cab after i picked up the truck from the dealer repairs not sure what it is. had the dealer do a full diag check on the vehicle and everything's running..

would appreciate any help ....

thanks

 

Belongs to the glove box door,

 

looks like half of the piece that keeps the glove box from opening too far

 

That's one of the rear shocks, your gonna want to get back to the dealer and show them where it goes immediately.

 

thanks... i know it wasn't electrical... and it served some mechanical purpose...

and nighthawk...that's funny...

 

Lol, these guys are right though. I'm pretty sure it actually just clips in to place so you likely wont even need any tools to reinstall it.

 

Yes glove box shock/extender/limiter goes back in easy

 

I was like really, had to scroll up and look at the picture again, then it was a nah,,, he's F'in with us

 

Click the Link for reference. The video is for changing the cabin air filter, but this particular part is referenced in its function and how to properly remove/replace.

I would not recommend using it as a part in your suspension system.
